Living Roots Charlotte Mason Co-Op
We are a Christ-centered Charlotte Mason co-op committed to nurturing both the hearts and minds of our children through living ideas, meaningful relationships, and shared community. Rooted in Mason’s principles and the belief that children are born persons, we gather weekly to learn together, grow in character, and encourage one another in the joyful work of home education. Our group focuses on enrichment subjects such as Hymns, Folksongs, Picture Study, Poetry, Recitation, and more, all while pursuing truth, beauty, and goodness in both curriculum and community life.

Arrows of Heritage Homeschool Group
Arrows of Heritage Homeschool Group
Raising and educating children in faith, wisdom, and purpose, honoring Psalm 127:3-5
Christian Based
Family-Style Learning
Inspired by Charlotte Mason
Our Mission:
Arrows of Heritage Homeschool Group exists to equip and inspire families in their homeschooling journey by providing a Christ-centered, community-driven environment where children grow in faith, knowledge, and character. Inspired by the Charlotte Mason philosophy, we emphasize ideas and concepts that inspire critical thinking and personal growth, fostering a love for learning through living books. We also encourage spiritual growth by integrating Scripture study, prayer, habit training, nature study, service, and gratitude, while fostering character development and reflecting God's presence in daily life. In doing so, we are raising and educating children in faith, wisdom, and purpose, honoring Psalm 127:3-5.
Our Purpose:
This group is a shared interest community, founded by a homeschooling mother, committed to supporting families on the rewarding yet challenging path of homeschooling, inspired by the Charlotte Mason philosophy. We emphasize high-quality, engaging lessons within a supportive, faith-centered community that values learning and fellowship. While homeschooling is central to many families, it is a demanding task that requires a community to encourage and exemplify what day-to-day at-home education can look like. Whether large or small, families often have one parent teaching and guiding each child in a home setting. The beauty of the Charlotte Mason approach is its shorter, focused lessons that maintain children's attention and prioritize quality over quantity in learning. Our group, rooted in faith and the call to raise children in the way of the Lord, offers a family-style learning environment. This group has been organized as a model to encourage at-home education

Charlotte Mason Book Club
We are a collective of experienced Charlotte Mason homeschoolers and new to Charlotte Mason ladies who meet once a month to read through Charlotte Mason's Homeschool Series and encourage one another. We meet on the fourth Monday of each month in Sherwood, Arkansas.
Charlotte Mason NorCal
CM NorCal was formerly called CM West. Given the growth of the CM Community on the West Coast, we decided it was time for a new name and a smaller regional focus. Our commitment to encouraging growth and fostering community continues and we look forward to meeting you at an event in the near future.
We host single-day events for educators to meet new people and explore the riches of a Mason education. We offer encouragement for local groups and connect with others to help form or grow your group and learn from other communities. We plan to offer educational retreats and overnight retreats to help educators delve more deeply into Mason’s principles and practices.
Please join our mailing list so you will be notified about our next event!

Rooted | A Charlotte Mason Community
Rooted | A Charlotte Mason Community is for homeschooling families who are dedicated to implementing Charlotte Mason’s philosophy of education in their homes. All levels of familiarity with Mason’s work are welcome!
In alignment with Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy, this group upholds a biblical worldview, affirming that the Word of God is true and serves as the foundation of our beliefs.
Our purpose is to encourage and support families who are committed to learning and applying Charlotte Mason’s philosophy.

We typically serve families in Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito Counties.

Our Study Group is the heart of our community and the starting point for participation. Each month, parents gather to read and discuss Mason’s volumes, and from this shared rhythm flow our other gatherings:
• 📖 Parent Study Group (2nd Mondays, Watsonville)
• 🍃 Nature Days + Scouting
• 📚 Book Clubs
• 🧺 Festive Fridays/Field Trips & Family Gatherings
• 🩷 Mother Culture gatherings
Rooted is not a co-op or a general homeschool group— it’s a place for families who want to learn, grow, and encourage one another in this living philosophy. If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!
